Bill Payment Services in general

Newest Review: ... account. Any money earned from car boot sales, competitions, the lottery, money back offers etc gets paid into the holiday fund and last year it paid for a fortnight touring Scotland! I have also set up standing orders on this account for some of the bills in order to benefit from discounts offered. I keep a spreadsheet on my PC showing what amounts have been paid in, for what purpose and what bills have been paid out of this account. I opened an ISA account whilst I was still employed so that I could take advantage of tax-free savings. Although this doesn’t apply to me now I don’t pay tax anymore I still keep the account.

I have just seen an advertisement on television for Secure Homes offering to take all your money worries away from you and pay your bills for you. They don’t mention of course that you will have to pay them for the privilege! It started me thinking about home finances and I thought I’d write an opinion about how I manage my household accounts. I know this all seems logical to me because of my training as an accountant and my love of playing with numbers, but there might be something here that’s useful to someone.

So, 3 x 150 = £450. And out of that, they have so far paid one bill of £10. She's still getting letters demanding money from all the people she owes to, despite the agency telling her that they would deal with all the correspondance. ... Read the complete review
